Description: | Heart shaped mount with a bi-lobed top narrowing to a point at the bottom; decorated with a series of wide diagonal grooves. The mount is cast in copper alloy and has signs of tinning on the front. On the reverse are two integral spikes, bent over to attack the mount to a strap.
It is 18.9mm long, 10.4mm wide and 5.1 mm thick; it weighs 1.7 grams.
The style, integral reverse spikes and tinning all suggest a post medieval date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
